The difference between the Somerset and Inverness Orgnaic Linen T-shirts? The sleeve cuffs (see close-up photos).

Please note: choice of plain or ivory contrast collar and sleeve cuff trim, as shown in the other photos in the Image Gallery. As we do not bleach or dye our organic flax linen yarns for this organic linen T-shirt, shades may vary from batch to batch, depending on harvest conditions (rainy harvest season means darker "natural" and sunny harvest season means lighter "natural" color). We have no control over the color of the natural yarn, and that's part and parcel of the charms of organic fibers.

100% Organic Flax Linen T-shirt

Our Somerset 100% organic French linen knit T-shirts are famed for their super soft heritage jersey knit, as cozy as the hand-knitted French and Irish flax linens from the Old World. Its coziness is very close to wild raw silk knits.

This new version of the Somerset Short-sleeve Organic French Linen Knit T-shirt is made from the same soft organic knit as our original, but with a modern more fitted cut, shorter sleeves, and an elegant ivory-on-natural contrasting neck and sleeve trim. Ivory is obtained via hydrogen-peroxide. Bleach-free.

The Somerset Organic Linen Knit T-shirt is GMO-free, dioxin-free, formaldehyde-free, chemical-free, and sweatshop-free, made in-house from start to finish at the Rawganique Atelier in Europe. The cut is very similar to our Bel Air 100% Hemp Knit T-shirt.

The Somerset Organic Linen Knit T-shirt ranks as the world's first and only lightweight 100% organic flax linen knit T-shirt. Flax linen, a baste fiber like hemp, breathes exceedingly well, keeping you cool through the warmer months and cozy through the cooler ones.

As to the overall virtues of our Organic Linen Knit T-shirt, an email from a customer says it better than we ever could:

"I'm wearing one of these organic linen t-shirts right now underneath a heavier Patagonia Fjord flannel shirt. They're just right. They feel fully natural (because they are,) not scratchy > toward silky, they keep me warm, they breathe well and not least of these, they look great. And this is in the winter/ early spring. No doubt that they'll be much like the numerous hemp pieces I've collected through the years... the way they function well year round. ===> Warm when I'm cool... and cool when I'm warm. -Never tending toward retaining odor like synthetics will. Again, thanks so much." From C.C.

While hemp and linen are the strongest natural fibers known to mankind, there are certain precautions to observe to get the longest enjoyment out of your 100% linen T-shirt, which is unique, special, and rare. Best to treat as delicate knit (like silk). Hand-wash or machine wash cold with like colors on gentle cycle inside a mesh laundry bag using a mild biodegradable detergent. Lay flat to dry or machine dry on delicate cycle (remove before dry). Keep away from acids (even fruit acids), which break down bast fibers such as linen and hemp. Rinse spills off immediately. Keep away from hot, dry heat. Steam iron at linen settings, if desired.
